@gregcello Learn to shear, yes. Also, have a good old fashioned barn raising!

If you are a Christian, you need to know the God knits together everyone in his or her mother’s womb. God gives parents stewardship over their children which means every parent is called to love, protect, and provide for their children, raising them in the Lord to the best of their ability. There are no exceptions to this for “congenital abnormalities.”

If you are a Christian, you also need to know that God abhors murder, which is the killing of an innocent. Every abortion kill an innocent human created in the image of God. To interfere with God’s creative process and murder the innocent child who God explicitly called you to love and protect would be a grave sin. I pray you repent of this attitude.

This man and his wife used their child for clicks and views from as near the moment of conception as possible. But when they calculated that the cost to them, the emotional and financial cost, the amount of time and perceived difficulty outweighed the benefits to them, they paid someone to kill their child. And then… AND THEN CONTINUED to post text and videos… more clicks, more views. How is this not exploiting a child to death?

This week, my wife and I made the very difficult decision to terminate the pregnancy due to Trisomy 21.

The choice was not made lightly. We really appreciate all of the personal stories that you guys shared with us, especially the unconditional support we received from fans with no matter what we decided.

I know some of you may be very disappointed to hear this news. We are devastated. This has been extremely traumatic for both of us, especially Ashley.

She underwent the procedure earlier this week and is on the mend. Thankfully, everything went smoothly, but emotionally we are drained.

Trisomy 21, also known as Down Syndrome, is caused by an extra chromosome. It is caused by an error in cell division, like a glitch. The odds of a baby having it is 1 in 1000.

When I first confronted this news, I was shocked but optimistic. If they’re a little slow intellectually, then we’ll make it work. I signed on to be a parent, come what may…but I just didn’t fully understand what Down Syndrome entailed.

Once we made it public, it became clear that MOST people don’t know what Down Syndrome entails (and no, it’s not the same as Autism):

50% of babies with DS have heart defects. 75% will have hearing challenges. Over 50% will have vision problems. Impaired immune function, developmental disabilities, learning disabilities, delayed physical development, poor muscle tone, structural issues with face, decreased lifespan, etc…Sadly, the list is long, feel free to look it up…Down Syndome isn’t a “blessing”, it is objectively shitty from a health perspective.

I didn’t realize just how rough it is for the child, let alone the family…more often than not, they would be fully dependent on others for the rest of their life.

The miscarriage risk is also close to 50%, which made matters worse…they may never see the light of day and it puts Ashley further at risk.

We spoke with doctors, friends, family and genetic counselors and learned that up to 90% of women terminate their pregnancy after learning the baby has Trisomy 21.

This was WAY higher than I expected, I thought it would be lower given that I hear so many say they kept or would keep the baby. I believe that’s because most terminations happen privately, it feels shameful. A lot of judgment being cast.

You never think you’d be in this type of situation until it happens to you and then things change.

To all of my fans who have weighed in on this topic who have Autism, Down Syndrome or any other conditions…we appreciate you. You matter a lot and we’re glad you’re here. I commend you and your families for having the strength and courage to push forward.

As for us, we made a difficult decision that we believe in the long-run will be beneficial for our family. Thankfully, we had a choice.

It will take a little time to move on, but we are excited to try again in the future and hopefully have a better outcome.

Love you guys & thank you for understanding. ❤️

Speak the truth.
Abortion is murder.

[Millennial Drift @millennialdrift]

@maistomedia If they didn’t want to involve the public, they should not have made their decision to discriminate against their baby to death public. What is sickening is that they murdered their child and that you defend such a heinous act.

[Millennial Drift @millennialdrift]

@WassonWatch Solid advice.

[Millennial Drift @millennialdrift]

@UcheMaryOkoli No, just speaking the truth.

[Millennial Drift @millennialdrift]

@wholemars Just hope I get some shares 🙏📈

[Millennial Drift @millennialdrift]

@Prolife_Sam This is moral clarity, the antithesis and antidote to the moral relativism that plagues our cultural. Than you for speaking the truth so clearly.

[Millennial Drift @millennialdrift]

@farmingandJesus Absolutely 💯

[Millennial Drift @millennialdrift]

@LilaGraceRose @DermotKearney3 This is literally true. People with Down Syndome are the most joyful, kind, caring, and compassionate people I have ever come in contact with. Every one of them murdered via abortion removes their kindness from the world and by necessity increase the proportion of cruelty.

[Millennial Drift @millennialdrift]

@OldHollowTree Your thought on this is completely consistent with everything you communicate about yourself, your family, and your business. Go with your gut.

[Millennial Drift @millennialdrift]

It’s here!

But could it sell as well as the green, or closer to it, with a tweak? You could run a poll on yellow as is versus yellow with green logo to get more info on whether it might sell even better with the tweak. If you’re getting similar feedback from others, it might be worth it.

Either way, you’re doing great things! A close friend of mine has been keeping bees for several years now. I recently bought my first home in the country. Between him and watching your journey, I’m hoping to add bees next spring! Keep it up! You’re making an impact.

Waiting with bated breath for the bloom 🌸

[Millennial Drift @millennialdrift]

@McJuggerNuggets People with Down Syndrome are the kindest, most caring, and compassionate people I know. What you’ve done, killing your own child, is a grave evil. I hope you come to understand that one day and repent of destroying the very child you were given to love, raise and protect.
